A Poll! Black or Blue?

[Europhyllia]

would the box be larger than the tank (viewing at an angle)? or the same size?

was just thinking: a frosted acrylic/plexiglass might make a good viewing panel for that box:

I wonder if frosted is available locally in a wider sheet?

krylon fusion is one type of paint formulated for plastic - i think there are a couple of different kinds. you may also be able to buy blue transparent acrylic and lightly sand it to make it frosted. i think it is up to you about how long you make the light, you could try a short one id a couple of different places first.

I think I am going to do it!
I sort of felt ho-hum about all the other options. This idea feels just right.
Especially now that I know that painting or bonding paper to the tank would eliminate so much light. This option might even add some extra light! I like it
Got to see if it's cost prohibitive...

I can get frosted transparent vinyl if you can't find it in acrylic. I'll have to check on the price in the morning to see of it's even worth it. Just throwing out options.
This sounds like it might be pretty cool!

I think it will be very cool. Was actually just perusing frosted vinyl! lol
